| - Because I'm a vegetarian, this review should be taken with a grain of salt. I found the service to be good, the ambience nice and the food consistent.
The BANG BANG SHRIMP, of course, was a hit for most of the table. It was spicy, nicely fried and came with a decent portion size.
The free bread and herb oil was also very nice. The bread was soft inside and perfectly toasted outside, while the oil had enough flavor from the herbs to not be bland.
My TOMATO SOUP was nothing special. And the CAESAR SALAD was equally boring.
My husband's STEAK was perfectly cooked. He ordered two healthy veggie sides, and his overall meal was exactly what he was looking for. He travels for work and eats at high end steak houses all over the US, but he said this steak quality and cooking was on par with the best he's had.
The LOBSTER GRILLED CHEESE sandwich was enjoyed by another person in my group. I thought it appeared dry, but she liked it and said it had good lobster flavor.
The desserts were the most disappointing portion of the meal. The COCONUT PIE was recommended by the server. Beware that it is a warm cooked coconut pie with a thick layer of shredded coconut on top. The coconut was too thick to be nicely browned and toasted, so it ended up being hard to eat.
The KEY LIME PIE was the best of the three. It was tart and thick and creamy. But the crust was soggy - missed potential.
And the MACADAMIA NUT BROWNIE WITH ICE CREAM could not have been more generic. It was fine for a sweet bite to end the meal, but again, nothing special.
I find this place to be perfectly adequate, but not somewhere I'd crave or really want to return.
